Balancing on one-arm with the elbow on the ground requires a very precise perception of the base for the correct force line, otherwise it will shear off very quickly. What should not be underestimated also at this altitude. Therefore and also because the view to the flyer is very limited, the one-armed is shored in both positions. However, special attention is always on the stability of the wrist, so the flyer does not have to stand uphill. 1. Lying sideways, the forearm is leaning at the back of the back and 2. Lying on the stomach, the hand shore itself […]

The balance on the head is indeed much more stable than the balance on the arms, but since the base has no or very limited eye contact with the flyer, the risk of a shearing is very high. An injury to the cervical spine is very annoying and tedious! So please think twice, whether you really want to try this position … There are basically 2 ways to balance the flyer: 1) On the forehead with raised shoulders that stabilize the head and cervical spine (is usually used for one-armed counter handstand). Thus the base can not correct with the […]
In order to avoid shear forces when to enter the one-armed, the flyer must learn to lean actively from the middle of the body in the desired direction laterally. The axis of rotation for the handstand is the shoulder and when standing the hip! If the base does not prevent this leaning, the weight of the flyer tilts on one arm in a controlled manner until the center of gravity reaches above the axis of rotation and the base’s carrying hand. The base follows this tilting with his elbow … Then, when the weight has almost completely arrived in the […]
The balance on the straight arms takes place exclusively over the legs. Again, the picture of balancing a huge ball is very helpful. As soon as the flyer starts to tip out of line, it creates a rotation that balances the base as fast as possible. Simply staying with your hands under the flyer’s focus is not enough! Correcting with the shoulder or elbow inevitably leads to a bent line of force. This in turn results in either a hollow cross, or wastes a lot of power. Not to mention the lack of appeal for the audience. The lying flyer […]
